What is an "adverb"?
An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, providing additional information about how, when, where, or to what extent something occurs. For example, in the sentence "She runs quickly," "quickly" is the adverb that describes how she runs. In English, adverbs can appear in various positions within a sentence, and their placement can affect the meaning. In other languages, adverbs may have different forms or rules for usage, which can vary from those in English.
